Quick results

You can see results in as little as six months (depending on the complexity of your case).

How does orthodontic treatment using aligners work?

Orthodontic treatment using aligners works by applying controlled pressure to individual teeth for a specified duration, causing them to gradually and gently shift. This process occurs day by day, millimeter by millimeter.

Every two weeks, the patient replaces the current aligners with new ones, slightly modified in their positioning. This cycle repeats until the teeth reach the desired alignment.

Not only is this method effective, but it’s also aesthetically pleasing. Aligners are highly comfortable compared to traditional braces with brackets and nearly invisible. This makes orthodontic treatment less cumbersome and more discreet.

Keeping them clean is a breeze—you can effortlessly remove the aligners for eating, brushing your teeth, and even occasionally for special events or ceremonies.

Advantages of Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment

Comfortable

Made from a special material without metal components, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces.

Easy to remove

The aligners can be easily removed before meals, daily hygiene, and briefly for special occasions.

Customized for you

A digital scan of your oral cavity will be conducted to create a personalized treatment plan.

Effective

Invisalign aligners start working from the first application, and initial results may be visible within a few weeks of treatment.

Stages of treatment

Interview with the specialist

During your consultation at Dentestetica Kraków, our orthodontist will discuss your bite problems in detail, ask about the history of your defect, tell you whether it can be treated with Invisalign, and describe the effects that can be achieved with the treatment.

Individual treatment plan

Once you have decided to start Invisalign treatment, the next step involves taking X-rays and regular photos, followed by taking an impression of your teeth. All these materials will be used to create a digital 3D image of your oral cavity. Based on the above, a virtual simulation will be performed to show you exactly how your teeth will move at each stage of the treatment. At this point, the doctor will also be able to determine the expected duration of the treatment. Each Invisalign case has individual requirements, but one year is usually enough to achieve a beautiful smile in adult patients. In children and adolescents, the duration of the treatment is comparable to that involving the use of traditional braces.

Na tym etapie lekarz będzie mógł też określić przewidywany czas leczenia.

Orthodontic device created especially for you

Based on the virtual 3D model and the established treatment plan, individual aligners will be custom-fitted to match your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made of thermoplastic, transparent silicone that does not irritate the cheeks or gums. Easy and comfortable to wear and apply, they can be easily removed before a meal or during brushing or flossing. Every day, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their new positions. Since the braces are virtually invisible, most people will never know that you are in the process of correcting your smile.

New aligners every 2 weeks

Every two weeks or so, you replace your old aligners with new ones. Each replacement marks another stage of the treatment that brings you closer to your perfect smile. To achieve the best results and complete the treatment on time, it is recommended that you wear the aligners every day, from 20 to 22 hours a day. To monitor the treatment of your malocclusion, we recommend scheduling regular appointments with the attending physician every 6 weeks, and, in addition, whenever you feel the need to make sure that everything is going well.
